drugs, dirty dancin' and …

Quick post with some variated mixtapes! Medfunc made a special mixtape for the Heavy Thrills podcast, another nice blog by a Belgian colleague. The Surpeems made a mixtape for the summer, summer is almost over but if you don’t have it, it’s still worth listening. Viktor Bodrovski, is still a young guy trying to get his name out here, but he’s one of the few who still swings vinyl around at partys, nice mix with some alltime classics!

Now let’s start first with a remix competition coming from Tuff Em Up Records. Producers from all over the world can start remixing DJ ANTENTION – Rapid Fire. The winner chosen for the remix competition will receive a set of WESC Headphones of their choice to the value of $400 and some Apparel from our sponsors 2BOP CLOTHING, and to have your remix, on DJ Antention’s first EP release on TUFFEM UP Records titled “RAPID FIRE EP”, which will be released in December.

The remix competition closes on November 10th all submissions are to be sent to: diego@tuffemup.com

Next, let’s talk about the first compilation CD of Tuff Em Up Records which is mixed by GTRONIC and Nadisko. You know how these two sound in general? Well just expect a CD full of this madness mixed perfectly together. The CD includes tracks as The Oddword – Kortelas (VNNR Remix), Dj ANTENTION – Go, Gtronic – Sucker Punch, Polymorphic – Rock On, The Mould – Getto, and so on! Heavy heavy stuff! And big up for the artwork as well!

Thanks to our good friend Gtronic I’m able to give away 3 of these cd’s, unfortunally this small competition will be limited to our Belgian followers, sorry guys! Maybe in the future some global competitions!

The FCKN CREW has amazed us in the past, but that was about two years ago. All what came after those first tracks and that amazing djset “Fckn Crew live @ fleche d’or (11/01/08)” was a bit rubbish to say it harsh. So this new EP… I was skeptic at the beginning. But I must say they did a pretty good job on this one. It’s hard trash electro, but with a good melody too it and not toooo much noise (as in the past). It features an original and 4 remixes and above all absolutely free!

All the blogs will probably jump on this one, a free track coming from mister Turbo Recordings: Tiga. The XX gets nothing but amazing reviews for the live performances they bring. Their music is a bit “dark” and probably that bit “emo”, but the atmosphere around it is amazing. I think Tiga tried to keep that same atmosphere around it, but making it just that bit more suitable for the “dancefloors”. He succeeded perfectly and this is one hell of a free remix!
